7 reasons why we should trust the power of Yemayá

Yemayá is a force of nature capable of transforming our lives, she is the Yoruba deity that governs our homes, abundance and fertility.
It gives meaning to love, humility and family, especially to people who live under the same roof.
It generates the deepest feelings of love between couples and families, giving meaning and strength to the bonds between father, mother and children.
She is the goddess of the sea, patron saint and protector of the shipwrecked, mother of all human heads, the very womb of the world.
It represents the majesty of the seas and its energy is immense as the owner of the oceans, and the salty waters.
There is nothing in this world that Yemayá cannot solve, she brings health, wealth, stability and well-being in our lives.
It is syncretized with the power of the Virgin of Regla, a saint who cares for and protects her children, especially if they need to cross the seas of their kingdoms.

And it is that during slavery the Africans settled their faith to strong roots, and relied on "syncretism."

A way to perpetuate their traditional cults without the intervention of their masters, who did not tolerate and considered such "pagan manifestations" unacceptable in their lands.

The prayer of Yemayá goddess of the sea, to open roads with its waters

When we go to the kingdom of the goddess Yemayá, the sea, we can invoke her with our thoughts, our words or with a prayer that helps us to converse with the mother orisha.

If you can, take a blue or white candle, and light it before you invoke it.

Hail, star of the sea, mighty goddess, mother and defender of all who sail the rough seas of life!
Your retinue of helpers, mermaids, and nymphs of the sea entrust us to your valuable protection, to be our guides, protectors, consolation and encouragement during the storms of earthly life.
We take refuge full of trust and faith in your aura and vibrant mantle.
Be our guide, be our beacon, always be our shining divine star that guides us, so that we never perish or fail towards the safe route that will make us stray from the rocks of the rough sea of material life.
Accept my humble devotion as a symbol of my love and hope, so that I can walk the life path with a clear mind and body without the negative fluids that can hinder my activities.
So be it.
